Football facilities are not bad at all and the last couple of years millions of dollars have been pumped into the football program. NMSU football has been discussed to death on its own board but I welcome Tarletons inquiry on the matter. Im hoping, with no inside info that these schools that come over from the LCS decide to move up to FBS and restart FBS football with NMSU in the WAC. Same goes for Dixie State. Hard to talk about football here because the WAC does not have football but we might see it more since the two schools joining both have football so their will be more speculation I'm sure what university presidents and Hurd have going on behind the scenes.

I'm curious, has there ever been a jump from D2 directly to FBS? That does seem like the easiest fix to keep NMSU football in the WAC, but that's a huge step forward for a Tarleton or Dixie. Whats the stadoum capacity minimum for FBS? Why isn't NMSU in the MWC?
